Doing a google search nets me very little in the way of actual answers to my question, so I'm trying here now.
What I'm looking for is a way to utilize an embedded browser engine - like gecko or webkit, complete with the javascript interpreter, in an editor. In other words, I want to have an RCP app where a user can open an editor that uses an HTML rendering engine to display HTML content.
Of course, just that would be too easy, so I'm going to push my luck and ask if it is possible to interact with the displayed HTML content through the Eclipse RCP - like be able to manipulate the HTML DOM from java classes.
I'm new to RCP, so be kind. If you can show me the path, I'll walk it myself, but right now I'm just plain lost as to how to begin, let alone if it is even possible. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
